Gas leak, living room update, paint stripping!

Wow, who knew that working on a home renovation by yourself is actually really hard?  With Emilio coming and going for business trips (way to bring home the bacon, hon!) I have been starting and abandoning projects all over the place.   So far, the house still stands.

Closet Lights and Ceiling Fans (Oh My!)

Its funny how you think you know what you want... until you realize you have no idea what you need. 

Since we've decided to move full steam ahead with finishing the master bedroom before anything else I started looking at fixtures and hardware for the room.  This seems like a simple enough process right?  Pick a ceiling fan/light, some outlet and switch covers and that should about cover it. 

NOPE!
